Technology
During the critical season, you distribute long-life temperature sensors throughout your vineyard. These sensors accurately predict frost events in the right locations and automatically activate the heat sources at the optimal time. The heat source consists of quick-igniting charcoal modules that burn without smoke and produce minimal ash. The modules can be deployed in all weather conditions and at any time, making them ready for immediate use. There is no need to collect residue after use. The environmental impact is minimal.

the difficulties of fighting frost
Many technologies are already in use to protect against unexpected late frosts. Many regions are affected by these phenomena and have varying degrees of mastery over the corresponding methods. However, financial pressures and strict environmental standards are forcing a rethink of practices in many places, and new approaches are becoming necessary.

the FrostShield solution
Frostshield combines sustainable charcoal in weatherproof packaging with a smart temperature sensor that automatically ignites when frost is expected. The charcoal burns slowly and evenly, radiating gentle heat and leaving only minimal ash after the ember stage. This robust sensor is reusable and will last for years – providing peace of mind throughout the season.
